★★★★★10 months agoFree museum! I recommend the visit, beautiful contemporary arts of Spanish history and more! I especially appreciated the arts about the post-civil war era and the building of a Spanish national identity.

★★★★★2 years agoThis place was amazing. We were greeted at the front desk by the sweetest member of staff. She was excellent. So kind and friendly to my children and provided us with all the information we would need, her name was Lola! Excellent. Even the staff upstairs minding the gallery were nice and helpful, definitely made a big difference to our visit. I love the plasticine models which display historic information of the City! Such a good idea! The paintings were so nice and I couldn’t believe it was all free. Don’t pass the chance to see this place if you like art!
